Hi,
Thank you all for replying to my request for help with standards for infographics. In my research I spotted some of the examples you sent me and have read up some more using the other links to valuable sites. I have now put together some guidance notes for my colleagues to use and would like to ask you all another favour, if that's ok. Could you review my attached guidance notes and see if they are any good. Please feel free to be critical as I would rather you guys help me get this right at this stage instead of finding out that I am offering incorrect information which is then unhelpful to our end users.
ThanksAlex

IÃ­m not aware of any formal guidelines, but here are two other references for consideration:

Another place worth looking is the UK's Office of National Statistics. Their style guide for data visualisation has a lot of well researched advice that may help: http://style.ons.gov.uk/category/data-visualisation/

Hello Alex
WCAG2 in itself includes some success criteria that cover infographics, or any other non textual content for that matters, so you need to look at ways to implement this requirement in your infographics format of choice. The default being to provide a meaning
full alternative in text.
Wrt to choosing a format, have you looked at SVG and ARIA ?

Hi,
I am trying to find out whether there are any formal guidelines for
producing accessible infographics.
I have tried doing research on the web and cannot find anything
definitive. The closest I got was the Accessible Infographics
community group [1] but not really much further.
Can you help?
Thanks
Alex
